Christmas weekend isn't generally a great time for big box-office results. Unless we're talking about "Star Wars" movies, "Avatar", or that one "Spider-Man" movie that couldn't find its way home. This year, all releases combined earned less than $100 million. So, not that great. New releases include the last DCEU movie "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom", the Illumination animated flick "Migration", the R-rated romantic comedy "Anyone But You", and the biographical sports drama "The Iron Claw".
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
Warner Bros' superhero movie "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" opened with a lackluster $28.1 over the weekend, and $40 million for the 4-day frame from 3,706 theaters.

The film received a negative reception from critics (36% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm reception from moviegoers ("B" CinemaScore).
"Wonka" drops to second place in its sophomore frame, grossing $17.7 million over the weekend. The film dropped 55%, and has now grossed $75.2 million domestically in 10 days. Overseas it adds a solid $171.3 million for a worldwide total of $254.8 million.
